This is a guest post by Sientina discussing earning gold in WoW as a healer.

I’m Sientina, and I heal things to death. You see that warrior over there? He’s been trying to kill me for the last 4 minutes and I’m healing away all his damage, waiting for help to arrive. Sure, I could probably kill him… eventually, but I rolled a healing class for a reason. I don’t kill things. I don’t grind elementals for eternals. The thing is, raiding takes its toll. I have reagents to buy, armor to repair, and hair to cut when my old style isn’t working for me anymore. What’s a girl to do when she has money issues and no sugar daddy?

I could just heal the daily heroic for cash but if I don’t want to commit to a full heroic run, I can do a few dailies instead and still have the gold for the raid tonight. Besides, have you seen those dungeons? They need to fire their cleaning staff. I end up with more cobwebs in my hair then hair products, and I use a lot of hair products. For a style this good, there needs to be money rolling in. These dailies keep my hair free of cobwebs and my gear free of blood and gore.

Icecrown

Stop by your respective airships and pick these quests up.

Capture More Dispatches / Keeping the Alliance Blind – shoot down 6 scouts just west of Aldur’thar. That’s Abominable! / That’s Abominable! – Kill an abom in the broken front for his guts and use your newly made Frankenstein creation to blow the undead to pieces. The Solution Solution / Volatility – Loot some helms, armor, and bones and blow a Frostbrood Skytalon sky-high. If you’ve unlocked enough quests to have the tabard of the Knights of the Ebon Blade, head to the Shadow Vault for 2 more dailies. Vile Like Fire! – Grab a proto-drake and burn 8 buildings. You can re-burn something already on fire, so it doesn’t matter how many others are around. Shoot ‘Em Up – There are two buildings with harpoon launchers on the balcony. Pick a weapon and kill 15 drakes. Make sure to grab group with anyone else at a harpoon, you’ll both be done sooner. Both Alliance and Horde have their own assault point in Ymirhiem. Join them to help their cause in a non-killing sort of fashion. Horde, you’ll report to the northern edge while Alliance will be on the eastern side. Assault by Air / Assault by Air – Grab the transport and hit the spear guns with the blinding shot to stay alive til all four of your infiltrators are dropped. King of the Mountain / King of the Mountain – Jump up the mountain and plant the flag. You can click for your next jump before you land so you can scale vertical walls with ease.

Sholazar Basin

For those Honored with Oracles:

Appeasing the Great Rain Stone – Hop around with your little green friend and look for sparklies on the ground. After he digs them up, loot them. Song of Fecundity – Go west to the Maker’s shelf and blow the horn around 8 piles of dirt. Song of Reflection – Go to the top of each Pillar and use the digeridoo at each crystal. For those Honored with Frenzyheart… Chicken Party! – Click on 12 chickens or net big groups of them. You don’t have to dismount to net or gather the chickens up, so catch them rodeo style.

Storm Peaks

You will have to unlock the Sons of Hodir quests to get these. Part of them are Sons of Hodir Dailies, and will give you rep towards your shoulder enchants. Others are from Brunnhildar. Talk to Gretta the Arbiter to start them.

Thrusting Hodir’s Spear – Only available at Honored. Find a wyrm and slay him using the special cast bar. Once you get the hang of killing the wyrm, it’ll take you about 5 minutes tops for 16 gold and 500 rep. Everfrost – This isn’t a daily, but when you’re out and about and you see an everfrost chip, loot it. Its a free 13 gold and then 7 gold for repeats. You can do this as many times as you find chips and sometimes someone in general chat will be willing to pay you for the location of one. If not… more rep for you. Back to the Pit – Grab a warbear and beat 6 other bear-back riders in combat. Maintaining Discipline – Beating slaves couldn’t be easier. If they choose to fight back, you might have to kill one or two.

Grizzly Hills

The Alliance and Horde fight over the Blue Sky Logging Grounds. Thankfully we can assist.

Dragonblight

With dailies to keep this girl independent and her hair the best in Dalaran, I’m as carefree as bird. If you’re needing a break from that dreary old dungeon crawl, try a different way to get the gold you need. Unless the main tank is cute and available. That’s a different situation.
